Tho Old Dominion.

Some weeks ago a rumor was In
circulation to the effect that the Old
Dominion mine, the phenomenal ore
producing claim Of the Colville dis
trict, was about to 20 into new hands.
At the time those interested In the
deal desired nothing said in regard
tn the matter, and hence the public
was left in ignorance Of the transac-
tion. 1t seems that at the time men,
toned the mine was bonded to a
company of st. Louis capitalists for
$l5O,OOO. This deal was made
through the efforts Of AL Harris, a
well known mining man, who is
now in st. Louis for the purpose of
closing up the bargain, but whose
trip has been failure. 1t seems
that the date OF the bond expired a
few days ago. The st. Louis people
have kept the wires, hot asking the
Kearney Bros. for an extension OF
time, but this was refused, and now
the property Is where 1t was origin
ally. In q conversation with Mr..
VIM. Kearney reporter learned of
the particulars in the case. 1t ap-
pears that shortly after the contract
Of bonding the mines was entered
into very extensive and rich de-
posit of ore was struck, and the boys
at once regretted that they had ever
entertained q proposition OF the kind,
and as soon as the legal time OF the
bond expired they at once cancelled
the bond. They have been losers to
the amount of several thousand dol
lars by the interval of idleness, but
now propose to make up for lost
time. Pat Kearney at once left for
the Old Dominion, when the time OF
the bond was up, and is arranging to
put a larger force of men than ever
on the mine on the Goth of the pres
ent month, and push the work in a
systematic manner. They are bet
ter prepared now to work the mine
than ever before, and have greater
encouragement for doing so, as they
have entered into contract with
Mr.. Vivian to sell all the first and
second class ores to the COlville
smelter and that institution will take
all that is delivered. This will be
saving to the owners of the mine
and will make it more valuable than
ever. AS mentioned above there is
fine body Of very rich ore in sight,
the mine In every respect looking
better than ever, and worked in the
way the Kearney's propose to work
it, IL will insure for the owners
vast income in the future. The re-
newal OF work on the Old Dominion
will add to the life and activity of
the whole district.

The proprietors OF the White

Beaver. Yesterday man named
Davenport, and relative of Beaver,
approached Mr.. Seitenbach, one Of
the proprietOrs of the White House,
and informed him that Mr.. Beaver
had purloined lot OF goods from
the store. Mr.. Seitenbach wanted
proof, and going to Davenport's
house, was given list OF articles
that the party charged Mr.. Beaver
with taking. On returning to the
store Mr.. Seitenbach found every
article on the books charged to and
paid for by Mr.. Beaver. Mr.. s. at

IT appears that the honorable dele.
gate from Washington Territory has
been talking out in meeting. That
able democratic paper, the New
York Sun, recently contained an in
terview with Mr.. Voorhees, in the
course Of which the Hery champion
Of pure and undefiled democracy
goes for President Cleveland with
out gloves. Commenting on the in
tervirw the Sun says, editorially:
The sun publishes an interesting
talk with the Hon. Charles Stewart
Voorhees,, democratic delegate for
Washington Territory in the last
and in the present congress. This
vigorous leader of democratic opin-
ion on the north Pacific coast ar
raigns The president for antagoniz-
ing the interests of his party in that
section and for violating in several
canon of political principle-public
office is public trust. He does not
hesitate to say that a more personal
administration than Mr.. :Cleveland's
has never existed in this country.
The nomination OF Mr.. Beecher's
son as collector OF the district OF
Puget Sound, and the subsequent
appointment of the same young man
whose character had been called in
question and whose rejection by the
senate was inevitable, as special
agent of the treasury department,
he considers most fragrant illustra-

One OF those questions with which
students of history delight to oc-
cupy themselves IL just no W attract
ing considerable attention from the
eastern press. North Carolina is
now putting forth a remarkable
claim to being the burial place OF
Marshal Ney. Many years ago a
well-known French school teacher
was living in the state under the
commonly accepted name of Peter
8. Ney. The report has been in cir
culation that Peter s. Ney was none
other than Michael Ney, the famous
marshal under Napoleon. The COM
monty accepted story OF the mar.
shal's arrest and execution in the
garden of the Luxembourg, Decem.
Der Z, 1916, is familiar to every
reader of history.
Now, however, comes the start
ling suggestion that the story Of the
marshal's death was all ruse. Ney
was the idol of his soldiers, and af-
ter his condemnation secret plot
was formed to save him from the
disgrace Of traitors death. The
examining surgeon WAS made a party
to the plot. AS briefly stated, "ac-
cOrding to this story, the authenti-
city of which there Is nothing to at
test, Ney fell unharmed before the
fire In the gardens of the Luxem-
bourg, was examined by the devoted
surgeon, placed solemnly in the
coffin, and so prepared for escape to
America, whittier, four days before
the battle of Waterloo, he had eX-
pressed his intention of going"
The Chicago Inter.O Ocean mentions
an incident that would seem to give
some color to the romance. An old
French soldier suddenly meeting
Peter Ney in North Carolina, threw
up his hands and exclaimed: "Mon
Dieu! Marshal Ney." The two
and had q private talk,
after which no more was said of the
This Peter Nye had arrived
in North Carolina few months after
the supposed execution of Marshal
Ney in Paris. 1t is further stated
that one of his pupils, who nursed
him in his late illness, now declares
that Ney admitted being the Mar
shal, "popularly supposed to have
persisted under the fire of his own
soldiers"
The Inter-Ocean claims to have
been the first to call attention to the
North Carolina sensation several
years ago. However that may be,
the matter has attracted discussion,
both in this country and in Eu-
rope. DR.. Lyman Draper, pres
ident of the Wisconsin His
torical Society proceeded to
an investigation, and last week the
of old Peter Ney were eX-
humed and examined. 1t was we'll
known that the Marshaps skull was
and 1t was supposed that
II Peters skull showed any marks OF
that process 1t would be most i'm
portant link in the chain of evidence.
the remains were in
such an advanced state of decomp0si-
ton that it was impossible to ascer.
tain whether the skull had been tre-
pinned or not, and the world is no
wiser than it was before. The peo-
pie of that section OF North Carolina,
however, are convinced that their
state is the last resting place of
great marshal, whose sad
fate is one OF the romances of history.

AMID the depression that has been
almost universal throughout the
country until recently, Spokane
Fails has grown steadily In popula-
tion and wealth. The universal
prosperity now existing ought cer-
tainly to make her growth more
rapid than in the past. But we must
avoid extremes and not grow faster
than Is natural. Excitement and in
flation In valuation should be avoided.
Boomers should be given a back seat.
Option dealing In real estate is inju-
